Under the direction of Dr. R. Alan Covey, Amanda Aland will investigate the Inka incorporation and administration of the Chao Valley on the north coast of Peru, focusing on the site of Santa Rita B. The Chao Valley, located in the heart of the Chimú state, was later conquered when the Inkas incorporated the coast into the empire reportedly around A.D.1470. The Inkas employed a variety of strategies for controlling the core and provincial areas of their vast empire, but very little is currently understood about Inka administration of the north coast of Peru. Santa Rita B is a strategically located mid-valley site bearing occupations spanning approximately 2500 years, including both Chimú and Inka. Research at the site, a possible Inka administrative center, will address the research question of whether the Inkas governed the valley through existing Chimú institutions or replaced them with their own.Ms. Aland's research will include systematic excavation and dating of the structures at Santa Rita B, as well as in-depth laboratory analyses to examine how the Inkas changed existing political and economic institutions and how such policies affected local people. Excavations will target administrative, economic, and domestic contexts. Investigations into administrative contexts at Santa Rita B will be critical in addressing how the Inkas governed the preceding Chimú at the site. Associated with economic and political aspects of governance, the excavation of the corrals should provide information on the origins of the camelids housed in the structures, and if and how the Inkas made use of herding and caravanning practices to benefit the state. Domestic contexts will provide insight into who occupied the area and how they were affected by the Inka state on a daily basis. In addition to excavations, AMS radiocarbon dates will aid in the establishment of a chronology of site and structure use, allowing for the Inka occupation represented at the site to be placed in space and time.The intellectual merit of this project lies in the contribution to the understanding of the variable Inka strategies for incorporation and control of the Peruvian north coast as a provincial area of the state. It will also address the larger issue of ancient empires, by contributing to the understanding of ancient imperial strategies of expansion, conquest, and administration of other territories a concept that can be applied to the field of anthropology. This project will have a broader impact by providing opportunities to the local community to learn from and participate in the research being conducted at Santa Rita B. The research will be a collaborative effort between Ms. Aland, students from the U.S, local Peruvian archaeologists, and workers, all of whom will receive training in both field and laboratory methods. It has the potential to greatly impact the members of the local community by involving them in the project and providing opportunities for education about the history of the north coast of Peru, better site management, and overall cultural heritage management.

在R. Alan Covey博士的指导下，阿曼达·阿兰德（Amanda Aland）将调查秘鲁北部海岸的Inka综合和给药，重点关注圣丽塔·B（Santa Rita B. B. Chao Valley）的地点，该地点位于chimú州的中心，后来被征服了Inkas在Inkas在A.D.1470 a.d.1470 a.d.1470附近被征服。 Inkas采用了各种策略来控制其庞大帝国的核心和省级地区，但目前对秘鲁北海岸的Inka管理的理解很少。圣丽塔B（Santa Rita B）是一个策略性地位于valley地点，涉及大约2500年的情况，包括Chimú和Inka。该网站的研究是一个可能的Inka行政中心，将解决INKAS是通过现有的Chimú机构统治山谷还是用自己的M.M.替换它们的研究问题。 Aland的研究将包括对圣丽塔B（Santa Rita B）结构的系统发掘和约会，以及深入的实验室分析，以研究Inkas如何改变现有的政治和经济机构以及这些政策如何影响当地人。发掘将针对行政，经济和国内环境。对圣丽塔B（Santa Rita B）进行行政环境的调查对于解决Inkas如何在现场统治上述Chimú至关重要。与治理的经济和政治方面相关，畜栏的发掘应提供有关结构中骆驼的起源的信息，以及Inkas是否以及如何利用放牧和大篷车实践来使国家受益。国内环境将提供有关谁占领该地区以及他们如何每天受到Inka州影响的洞察力。除发掘外，AMS放射性碳日期还将有助于建立现场和结构使用的年代学，允许将现场代表的Inka事件放置在时空中。该项目的知识分子优点在于对理解可变的Inka策略对佩鲁维亚北部北部海岸的理解的贡献。它还将通过理解对其他领土的扩张，征服和管理古代帝国战略的理解来解决古代帝国的更大问题，该概念可以应用于人类学领域。该项目将通过向当地社区提供机会学习并参与圣丽塔·B（Santa RitaB。它有可能通过使他们参与该项目，并为秘鲁北部海岸的历史，更好的现场管理和整体文化遗产管理提供教育机会，从而极大地影响当地社区的成员。
